10760 for Catalans v Saints

5423 for Leigh v Cas

That’s a poor turnout at Leigh considering how well they are going.

Which is why you don't play the game where people can pick and choose which top level (I leave that open to debate for the match thread) rugby league they can watch because they have so much of it on their doorstep every weekend during the season.

Didn't Doncaster do ok with a couple of internationals when we held them there? 

One thing I would say, last year's game was clearly never the 9k plus they claimed (remember they claimed the seats were sold out and there were huge empty sections). I thought it looked _ok compared to that, and I would add that the feedback from people who went (non-RL fans on my social media for example) was that they seemed to really enjoy it. So that's something I suppose. 

I'm almost at the point of past caring about the detail, it's a waste of time and energy as a fan. They'll do what they do, I'll pick and choose what interests me. That was the World Cup Legacy for me tbh.

A lot of offers tonight, maybe could have hoped for better, but then it's a bank holiday weekend, so positive that we were in 5 figures.

Good crowd IMO

Excellent crowd at Leeds 13,007.

So outside away fans - Leigh dropping to borderline Salford and Wakey attendances despite heavy rebranding, promotion and the most successful side in years?

I think a conversation needs to be had whether there really is an appetite for the game in Leigh.

Just saying:

"Toulouse recorded an average attendance of 4,974 for their debut season in Super League. Sylvain Houles’ side fell to relegation and will compete back in the Championship in 2023. "

When you adjust for away fans........

There is and has always been a fantastic appetite for the game in Leigh.

But it is a pretty small place and there are established SL teams in every direction. This has always been the issue and it is hard to see how they sustainably get to the 8k minimum average you need to thrive in this division. None of that is to criticise or mock any of the efforts that are being made because Leigh are making the absolute best of their promotion on and off the field.

Just out of interest, and not a criticism, I saw that Man United ladies played at LSV yesterday. Anyone know how many went to that?

Yes it was a bit disappointing , but early doors yet , these things take time , Wire up next which should wet the appetite of the locals a bit more , don't forget we're a town used to playing Sundays , these Fridays need getting used to

Different scenario , they draw from a huge area , the massive issues the locality has with parking on Ladies match days shows that 

[Josef K]

HKR have said their average attendance so far this season is 8,782 which is excellent, but they haven’t given the attendances from each home game. Unless 8,782 have turned up for every match.

The Catalans gate is up 500 on last year Vs Saints.

Definitely tough to see what Catalans bring to the division compared to some other clubs isn't it?

There was on attendance in RL Express for Hull KR either.

Fair enough - i was trying to post from a small screen so probably missed it whilst squinting. Good attendance.

[Hull Kingston Bronco]

Rovers have finally made their first attendance announcement of the season:

Averaging 8,782 so far, which is the highest in over 40 years

No problem there's that many don't give attendances out these day's.
